Kyosho flies in the face of opposition to produce new indoor model chopper.
Kyosho is presenting a new model chopper for indoor use, which will go on sale in Japan at the beginning of September. The company is also present in the US (as Kyosho America). Their web site even features the Minium AD Caliber 120 Readyset already but price or availability for the US and other markets are unknown at this point.
The radio-controlled model plane (4-channel, 2.4 GHz) can be safely used in living rooms. It is able to ascend, descend, stop in midair, back up, and also to bank to the right and left.
Kyosho says it’s the first micro-sized model chopper that features cyclic control.

Fun Gadgets - Dueling Mini R/C Helicopters
Check out these fun dueling remote controlled helicopters from ThinkGeek.
These Battling Palmsize Havoc Helicopters come in set of two and let you and a friend duke it out “laser tag” style for office air rights. Take to the air from the palm of your hand then use the shoulder button on the remote to fire at your opponent copter. Each shot causes the nose of your chopper to flash with simulated gunfire. The first hit causes your enemy to spin. The second makes the enemy copter lose power… the third cuts rotor power completely as your opponent plummets to the ground as you gloat in victory.
